NBA teams have been coming to Miami since 1988. It’s a favorite stop for many of the players because… well, if I have to explain that to you then you were never 22. It’s Miami, we’ll leave it at that.

But now, everybody there cares about the NBA. Even the hotels. Okay, the hotels only care because they want the NBA business — traveling teams take up about 40 rooms a night plus they bring some prestige — but they are taking steps to get that business.

Every NBA player taller than Steve Nash (so, basically every NBA player) has had to put up with beds that are too short and shower heads that are too low. Miami hotels are changing that in some rooms in hopes of attracting NBA teams.

Some of the area’s newest hotels have consulted with the Heat to find out how to make their rooms as attractive as possible for professional athletes, who might bang their heads in the shower or knees on the vanity in a room made for regular folks.

With taller-than-average guests in mind, Miami’s riverfront Epic Hotel at 270 Biscayne Boulevard Way, across from the Marriott, was built with high rain-style shower heads, roomy ceilings and raised vanities.

A dozen rooms there cater to the very tall with 96-inch beds — available in some other hotels in the boutique Kimpton chain.

Other steps at area hotels include at hotels include an NBA basketball court that can be set up in ball rooms for walk throughs (complete with shot clock), heavier weights in the gym for workouts, and 24-hour room service, in case guys want to eat after the game.

Of course, the hotels didn’t really start doing this until LeBron James came to town. He has changed the profile of basketball in South Florida, if nothing else.

What the article left out was that the rooms also have life-sized cut outs of NBA champions raising the trophy with face cut-outs to get your own championship moment picture. This comes complete with a hidden jewlery drawer in the dresser containing (6) plastic pretend championship rings!!! What a premadonna! Nice to know that your legacy was changing the pampering that hotels dish up. That in itself just may be why you don’t have a ring LeBron. Just Sayin!
